A bug or a feature (git diff --author + --grep)

I would have expected the --author and --grep option to work as pipeline filters. The first on the command line being applied first.

In other word I would have expected:

   --author AND --grep

But it turn out that the result are maching either --author or --grep:

   --author OR --grep

For example on the Git project:

   $ git log --author=obry --grep=Cygwin

Returns commit from obry and commit having Cygwin in their log.

Is this a bug or a feature?

Thanks,
Pascal.

Feature. There's --all-match to switch on AND-mode.

Thanks for the quick answer, I missed the --all-macth option.
